Epitope specificities and quantitative and serologic aspects of monoclonal complement (C3c and C3d) antibodies

Transfusion, 1987
Twenty‐two monoclonal antibodies to human C3c and ten to C3d were obtained by hybridization after the immunization of mice with complement‐coated human red cells and/or purified human complement components. C3c antibodies were variable in their agglutination reactions with cells coated with C3 by antibody in vitro; more consistent and potent reactions ...

IUD-induced changes in cervical secretion content of albumin, IgG and complement C3c

Contraception, 1984
Cervical secretion albumin, IgG, complement C3c, spinnbarkeit and amount of wet weight mucus recovered were analyzed in a group of 13 women using IUD as a contraceptive method and the results were compared to those obtained in a control group. Significant differences were obtained when concentrations and amounts of soluble proteins in the respective ...

Development and clinical application of electroimmunoassays for the direct quantification of the complement C3 split products C3c and C3d

Scandinavian Journal of Clinical and Laboratory Investigation, 1984
The present report describes the development of electroimmunoassays for the direct quantification of C3d and C3c, split products of the third complement factor (C3). Both methods were developed as rocket immunoelectrophoreses, using two antibody preparations with specificities against the C and D epitopes on C3.

Structure of C3c in complex with compstatin reveals a new mechanism of complement inhibition

Molecular Immunology, 2007
Bert Janssen - Conformational Complexity of Complement Component C3 60 Undesired complement activation is a major cause of tissue injury in various pathological conditions and contributes to several immune complex diseases. Compstatin, a 13-residue peptide, is an effective inhibitor of C3 activation thus preventing a central and crucial step in ...

Activation and fragmentation of the third (C3) and the fourth (C4) components of complement: Generation and isolation of physiologically relevant fragments C3c and C4c

Journal of Immunological Methods, 1985
The degree of the activation and fragmentation of C4 and C3, including chain structure of the activation products, was evaluated by SDS-PAGE analysis of the C4 or C3 antigens that were withdrawn from the reaction media with appropriate immunoadsorbent beads.

Functional assessment of mouse complement pathway activities and quantification of C3b/C3c/iC3b in an experimental model of mouse renal ischaemia/reperfusion injury [PDF]

Journal of Immunological Methods, 2015
The complement system is an essential component of our innate immunity, both for the protection against infections and for proper handling of dying cells. However, the complement system can also contribute to tissue injury and inflammatory responses.

Levels of Complement Receptor Type One (CR1, CD35) on Erythrocytes, Circulating Immune Complexes and Complement C3 Split Products C3d and C3c Are Not Changed by Short-Term Physical Exercise or Training

International Journal of Sports Medicine, 1992
The effect of heavy short-term physical exercise on the levels of complement receptor type one (CR1, CD35) on erythrocytes, the concentrations of circulating immune complexes (IC), and the complement C3 split products C3c and C3d were examined in young healthy males.

Complement C3c and C3d in plasma and synovial fluid in rheumatoid arthritis.

Acta pathologica, microbiologica, et immunologica Scandinavica. Section C, Immunology, 1984
By means of recently developed immunochemical assays increased levels of the complement C3c and C3d split products were found in synovial fluids of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) as compared with synovial fluids of patients with traumatic synovitis (TS). In plasma, only the C3d levels were significantly increased compared with plasma levels of

Serum complement C3c concentration in non-obese young insulin-resistant Mexicans.

Diabetes, nutrition & metabolism, 2003
The aim of this study was to compare the serum complement C3 concentration between non-obese young insulin-sensitive and insulin-resistant Mexicans. A cross-sectional study was carried out in 28 healthy, non-obese [Body mass index (BMI) < 26 kg/m2] young (age 19-25 yr), male volunteers to measure the serum C3 concentration.
